I was running a jsp application here via TomCat that someone wrote. I got no response, and when I looked in catalina.out I saw
Couldn't open execbin/dMAX-Dog.config/home/span/execbin/dMAX-Dog.config (No such file or directory) Couldn't open dmagexec/dMAX-Dog.config/home/span/dmagexec/dMAX-Dog.config(No such file or directory) Jan 30, 2008 11:04:26 AM org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11BaseProtocol pause INFO: Pausing Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-80 actually the file just starts from /home (the print statement is wrong). Problem is as you can see this causes TomCat to pause (in actuality DIE). Java no longer is running, and you can' access. Now granted the error occured because the file was not there. I put a copy for the file it was looking for there and our stuff worked. BUT should a File Not Found error cause Tomcat to crash? Shouldn't it print out some sort of exception or something, but keep going?
